CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
The SFA900 operates on a built-in Li-ion battery that can be recharged using
either the USB port on your computer or from a USB power adaptor (not
included) with a rated output of DC 5V/500-1000mA
Note: The micro USB CHARGING JACK located on this unit is only designed
for charging the built-in Li-ion battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY FOR FIRST TIME
1) Charge the built-in Li-ion battery a minimum of 12 hours prior to first use.
Plug the unit into the USB port on your computer or into a USB power
adaptor (not included) using the included USB cable.
2) The POWER INDICATOR (#2) will turn “ON” RED color while charging
and turn “ON” GREEN color when the unit is fully charged. Unplug the
USB cable from the power source once the battery is fully charged.
RECHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTER Y
After prolonged use, the internal battery will become weak and the operation
may become intermittent. When the internal battery charge is low, the POWER
INDICATOR (#2) will turn “ON” RED color and FLASH” alerting you to
recharge the internal battery as soon as possible.
Plug the SFA900 into a USB port on your computer or into a USB power

Disconnect the USB cable from the speaker as soon as it is fully charged.
Note:
1. Charging time will vary if you are listening to music while charging
the internal battery at the same time. We recommend you switch off
the SFA900 power during the charging process.
2. To prolong the life of a rechargeable battery, it is recommended to
completely discharge it before fully charging it again.
3. Rechargeable batteries need to be cycled for maximum
performance and longer battery life. If you don’t use the player that
often, be sure to recharge the battery at least once a month in order
to keep the internal battery working properly.
Battery Note and Care

Do not puncture or crush.
Do not disassemble.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may explode or leak
Li-ion batteries must be recycled. Do not dispose of in the trash.
Use only chargers rated for Li-ion cells. Be sure the charger’s voltage and
current settings are correct for the battery pack being charged.
Charge batteries on a fireproof surface and away from flammable items or
liquids.
Batteries should NEVER be left unattended while charging. Only adults
should charge the batteries.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for charging the product and do not
charge longer than recommended. Unplug the charger when the battery is
charged or not in use.
NOTE: The speaker is not magnetically shielded and may cause color
distortion on the screen of some TVs or video monitors. To avoid this, you may
need to move the unit further away from the TV or monitor if an unnatural color
shifts or image distortion occurs.
PAIRING WITH YOUR BLUETOOTH DEVICE
ABOUT PAIRING
Pairing is the term used when two Bluetooth devices are connected wirelessly
for the first time. This allows the devices to see each other and sets up a one to
one communication channel between both devices.

1. Press and hold the POWER BUTTON (#7) to ON to turn on the unit. The
BLUETOOTH INDICATOR (#1) will light blue and flash and the melody
“TRI-TONE” is heard. The unit is now ready to pair (link) with your
Bluetooth device.

screen. If required, enter the pass code “0000” to pair (link) SFA900 with
your device.
4. If you are pairing (linking) your computer to the speaker using Bluetooth,
you may need to set the SFA900 as your computer’s default sound
device.

The SFA900 can store one previously paired device for quick pairing during
the power on cycle. When the unit is powered on and the previously paired
device is found within the operating range, the unit will pair and connect with
the device automatically.

Due to different operating systems found in Bluetooth devices, the time to
complete the pairing process might be different from unit to unit. If the
pairing is not successful the first time, please try restarting the pairing
process again by pressing and holding the /PAIRING button (#3) until the
BLUETOOTH INDICATOR (#1) flashes.

USING SFA900 AS A HEAD-FRESS SPEAKERPHONE
ABOUT NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling short-range
wireless communication between various devices, such as mobile phones and
IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data communication can be achieved
easily just by touching the relevant symbol or designated location on NFC
compatible devices.
Make sure your Smartphone and the NFC function is turned on.
Hold the back of your smartphone against the “CONNECT” area on the
SFA900 until hear a confirmation tone is heard to confirm the pairing is
completed.
Some smartphones may ask you to confirm the pairing if they were not paired
before.
NOTE: If you have multiple NFC compatible devices, just touch the
smartphone to a different device to switch the connection to that device. For
example, when your smartphone is connected with NFC compatible
headphones, just touch the smartphone to the system to change the Bluetooth
connection to the system (one touch connection switching).
You can play other music sources (iPod, MP3 or other digital audio players)
through the speakers of this unit by connecting the LINE IN JACK (#13) to your
external player’s audio out jack or headphone jack.
Plug one end of an audio cable (not included) into the LINE IN JACK (#13) and
the other end of the cable to the headphone jack of your digital audio player.
